First row: Mrs. Luce, Mrs. Friedlander, Mrs. Putnam, Mrs. Guthridge. Second row: Mr. Knight, Mr. Beattie, Mr. Putnam. HISTORY CHARLES TWIGGS MYERS, A.B. The original General Twiggs bears a strik- ing resemblance to the head of our his- tory department, a corridor master with certain military tendencies. In the class- room, nevertheless, it was evident that Mr. Myers' knowledge of history is thorough to a very enviable extent. TIMOTHY M. BRAY, A.B., M.A. OK, let's finish 'em up, rings through room 24, and it is time to erase the purple cows impaled to trees from our papers, turn them in and await a history lesson of inimitable style. lnimitable is the word, because Mr. Bray has the advantage of an A.B. and an M.A., making the privilege of being in his class iust that much more valuable. JACKMAN LIVINGSTON STEWART, A.B. Besides having the ability to teach Eu- ropean and ancient history in a uniquely imaginative style, Mr. Stewart brought to his teams a new outlook on the impor- tance of the right spirit in athletics. ART LA GLIAGE TRAINING A DMUSIC ART: JOHN B. KNIGHT, A.B. LANGUAGE TRAINING: Emmons Putnam, director, Mrs. Luce, Mrs. Friedlander, Mrs. Putnam, Mrs. Guthridge. MUSIC: FRANK BEATTIE, A.A.G.O.

FCREIG LA GLIAGES FRANK E. STEVENS, A.B. Despite threats of one day running One-pump gas stations, the head of our language department's students seem to do quite well in post- prep school life, even though many feel that they will be exceptions. NORMAN E. RIOUX, A.B. Mr, RioUx's interest in education extends far beyond iust teaching. At the end of the '57-'58 school year he will be director of two schools: Craftsbury Csummerj school, and a new preparatory institution whose vir- tues are described iust after the senior section. WALTER F. DONLAN, A.B. Mr. Donlan, aside from his usual teaching duties, di- rected the fall play, Brother Orchid. Mr. Donlan is always in close contact with classical literature, thereby making his classes stimulating experiences. FRANK B. MITCHELL, A.B., M.A. Mr. Mitchell is what you might call a full-time teacher. He conducts bristling classes, but is always ready to teach still more outside the classroom. GEORGE SEMLER, A.B., M.A. A readya cocked wit and evident thorough knowl- edge of his subject contributed to Mr. Semler's instantaneous success here. Be- fore Berkshire he taught at Salisbury and Kent. WALTER JOHN FRIEDLANDER, A.B. Black- board work stabbed at in a manner similar to Mr. Stevens' showed that Berkshire had a solid protege of the same in the person of Mr. Friedlander. Aside from teaching, he assisted in coaching Varsity Football to the best season in seven years. SCIENC S DAVID C. EIPPER, A.B.-See Mathematics. W. CHATTIN WETHERILL JR. Mr. Wetherill runs the school fire department and the C squad skiing program in addition to teaching biology. ROBERT F. BROWNELL, A.B., M.A. Di- rector of athletics and coach of two varsity teams, Mr. Brownell teaches physics and chemistry. JAMES JOHNSON COALE, A.B., BD. Chemistry and Algebra are Mr. Coale's subiects, but he also runs the Tuck Shop and coaches varsity wrestling as well. PHILLIP B. LUCE, A.B. Mr. Luce is ad- visor to the Photographic Association, but finds teaching geology his forte. Seated: Mr. Eipper. Left to right: Mr. Coale, Mr. Wetherill, Mr. Brownall Absent: Mr. Luce.
